在一次ABC广播电台的采访中,饰演《超人》的主角Henry Carvill 亨利·卡维尔曾说无论一天过得是好还是坏,尤其是当非常糟糕的时候,他都会读一遍以下这50条人生智慧,让自己重新振作。· 1.Have a firm handshake. · 2.Look people in the eye. 看着对方的眼睛。(交谈时能让对方感受到被理解和尊重)· 4.Own a great stereo system. · 5.If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.如果不得不决斗,先出手且要狠。(老先生应该说的是自卫的情形下)· 7.Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day.· 8.Always accept an outstretched hand.永远要接纳一直伸出来的手。(当年美国外交家杜勒斯就没接纳周总理先伸出的手,结果他让美国变成了世界的小丑) 后来当尼克松从美国来拜访中国,下飞机的那一刻见到了周总理,赶紧主动伸出了手 · 9.Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the
difference.勇敢一点。即使你并不勇敢,假装一下,没人看得出区别。· 11.Avoid sarcastic remarks.避免挖苦的评论。(无论是谁,讽刺挖苦都会产生消极情绪。)· 12.Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will
come 90% of all your happiness and misery.谨慎选择你的人生伴侣。你90%的幸福快乐和悲惨源于这一个决定。(中国不提倡,赶紧生娃,最好三胎)· 13.Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find
out.· 14.Lend only those books you never care to see again.只借给别人那些你不再想看的书籍。(有时,借 = 给)· 15.Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.· 16.When playing games with children, let them win.当你和孩子们玩游戏的时候,让他们赢。(孩子们从挫败所受到的伤害远远比他们所受到的磨砺要刻骨铭心得多。)· 17.Give people a second chance, but not a third.· 19.Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.· 20.Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters,
nothing is as important as it first seems.松弛下来。放松。除罕见的生死存亡问题之外,没任何事情会像它一开始看起来的那般重要。· 21.Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there
for our convenience, not the caller’s.别让电话打断了重要时刻。电话的存在是为了我们的方便,不是为了那个给你打电话的人。(另外,心理学界已证明,仅仅只是把手机放在桌子上就会分散人们的注意力。)· 24.Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.将秘密吐露给一个朋友的时候一定要三思。(可能你觉得自己是在给别人传达信任感,殊不知听者的内心正在负重前行)· 25.When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.· 26.Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.· 28.Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.当心那些已经没有任何东西可以失去的人。(如《孙子兵法》中“围师必阙”的道理。切莫欺人太甚)· 29.Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have
to cross the same river.不要烧桥。你会惊讶于你会有多少次需要跨越河流。(处事圆滑,勿撕破脸)· 30.Live your life so that your epitaph could read: No regrets.· 31.Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you’ll
regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.大胆勇敢一点。当你回望人生,你会对那些你没能做更多的事情感到后悔,而非那些你做过的。· 32.Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.· 33.Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be
quick to acknowledge those who helped you.记住,没有任何一个人能独自成功。拥有感恩的心,快点对那些帮助过你的人表示感谢。· 34.Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it
for you.· 35.Visit friends and relatives when they are in the hospital; you
only need to stay a few minutes.当朋友或亲戚在医院病床上时,探望他们,你只需待几分钟就好。(但是意义重大)· 36.Begin each day with some of your favorite music.· 37.Once in a while, take the scenic route. 偶尔走一段风景优美的路。· 38.Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, 'Someone who thinks
you’re terrific.’ 送出许多情人节卡片,在上面写上“某个人认为你非常不错哦。”· 39.Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.· 40.Keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar
ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.在你的床头柜上放一支笔和一个记事本。百万美金的主意有时会在午夜3点钟将你从梦中敲醒。· 41.Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of
how trivial their job.对那些为了生计而努力工作的人们流露出敬畏之心,无论他们的工作有多不起眼。· 42.Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.· 43.Make someone’s day by paying the toll for the person in the car
behind you.为你后面的车交通行费,让某人开心一整天。(有时只需花点小钱,牺牲一点,却能给他人带来很多的快乐。)· 44.Become someone’s hero.· 45.Marry only for love.· 46.Count your blessings.· 47.Compliment the meal when you’re a guest in someone’s home.当你作为客人在某人家里作客的时候,称赞他们准备的菜品佳肴。(一种作客之道)· 48.Wave at the children on a school bus.给那些在校车上的孩子们招手。(孩子们感受被爱、有趣和快乐的能力很强。)· 49.Remember that 80% of the success in any job is based on your
ability to deal with people.记住,任何工作中80%的成功都基于你应对处理和他人关系的能力。(钝感力很重要)· 50.Don’t expect life to be fair.
